Your job would be so much easier if there was a one-size-fits-all solution to your caregiver training needs. But, there are variables that create unique training needs for each healthcare organization.
Your job would be so much easier if there was a one-size-fits-all solution to your caregiver training needs. But, there are variables that create unique training needs for each healthcare organization.
And, you have to choose how you want to DELIVER your training. Do you want to use online learning, in-person training, or a combination of both?
The experts agree . . . blended learning (which combines online and in-person training) is the most effective method to support skill development for health professionals.
A closer look at blended learning.
A blended learning plan is a strategy that uses a combination of traditional classroom training with online learning. The mix or “blend” of training strategies is where the magic happens!
A blended approach gives you the options you need. Topics that require hands-on demonstration can be taught in the classroom, while others can be assigned online. For example, you may choose to assign an e-learning module on “Fall Risk Factors.” Then, follow up with an instructor-led demonstration in “Performing Safe Transfers.” A blended plan means you’re not stuck with just one delivery method!
